The 8-foot, six-way hydraulic moldboard with 25-degree rotation/tilt is controlled remotely from the cab via proportional current valve. The blade features a reversible beveled cutting edge and half-inch fl at-faced hy- draulic couplers. End-plate and laser-pole kits are optional. Buckets for abrasion Doosan's severe-duty buckets are designed to handle abrasive materials during heavy digging and loading. Made for crawler excavators, the buckets feature side cutters, a shell bottom and side plates made of abrasive-resistant material. Reinforcing gussets strengthen the bucket's fi t- ting joint, front wear pads protect against rocks and other irregular material, and a wear strap on the bottom provides added wear resistance. Monitor progress remotely The Bobcat 3D grade control system saves time, fuel and money while grading for such projects as parking lots and roads, the company says. The system automatically directs a compact wheel loader and attachment to grade the ground after a com- puter-generated model is installed in the loader's control box. The job's progress can be monitored remotely with Connected Site software. Design changes can also be sent wirelessly in real time to the loader. The system uses GPS or UTS (Universal Total Station).
